Abstract

Transmission of electrical energy with High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) has provided the electric power industry with a dominant means to transmit a huge quantity of electricity over very long distances. To investigate the performance, a well-developed current source converter based HVDC transmission system model is projected, in which the AC system is represented as damped LLR equivalent and is equipped with a double-tuned harmonic filter to mitigate the AC-DC harmonics, and the DC system is secured with a rectifier current control, inverter current control, inverter voltage control and inverter extinction angle control. The MATLAB/Simulink-based simulation results validate the step response of the HVDC transmission link connected to a weak AC system with various controllers.
